The lead singer of the rock band Life of Agony is detransitioning more than a decade after coming out as transgender.
Mina Caputo, 50, revealed he will be living life as a male again, citing his gender dysphoria “has been cured” and announcing he has already started the process.
“Surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts, and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,” the rocker said in a video on Instagram, per Daily Mail.
“I’ve cured my gender dysphoria. It took many years. A lot of walking through the fire, but I rose above my misunderstandings of my soul and my spirit.”
Caputo was born Keith in Dec. 1973 and began identifying as Mina in 2008. The musician publicly came out as transgender in 2011.
He posted the announcement in response to his followers, who began leaving comments about his appearance and claiming he looked like a man.
“I’m making this video because a lot of people throwing me shade, saying I look ugly, and I look like a man,” Caputo shared.
“It’s like honey lamb, I am a man, I always was a man. You’re just not used to hearing authentic people speak. You’re used to people spitting lies at you about their identity,” he shared.
